Xote* of the Xeetinu: ? SporchoM ol boveruor Tillman and ?Hht State Nominees. Introductory Remarks by the Stale Reporter. The State Democratic Convention lias coine and gone. While It is true that the majority had nothing which could warrant a display of bitter*" - ?olnnc U'OIlt the ness, it wan, soiai as uuiwaiu ~ most conservative and dignified convention of the paj ty wliicli has been held liere for six years. The Conservatives made their nominations and cast their votes for the men ol their choice with calmness, earnestness and dignity. Tney presenied a platform io the convention ?the platform upon which the Democrats of the State have stood from liCtito ISiNiand upon which the national Democracy Is now stitruling." They earnestly plead with their lellow Democrats for its adoption. But It was too much to expect that the convention would adopt a resolution by the Conservatives. By the efforts of the Conservatives both factions were put upon record In this matter. But the resolutions adopted have a vastly deferent tone from those rushed through with wild yells last May. That Is something trained. The Ocala piriform was not mentioned and Mr. Latimer, though present, was not conspicuous as at the spring convention. Dnrlng the afternoon th?s galleries were filled. There wre many Indies present, rel *- ?-*- ...inHMnips, Senator Wives anu ineuu.i v/? Irby spent the evening in the gallery, where he appeared to be pleasantly entertained. About fifty negroes, massed upon one side ot the galleries, were interested spectators, but derived little comfort from the mildness of the scene. It may be that repeated success is a damper to enthusiasm, but It is certain that th?-re was a ditferrence between the reception ?of Governor Tillman when he was escorted Into the convention last eveulng, and that given him at every other convention he has shown him self in for four years. His reception was warm, but there was not that genuine enthusiasm to which he has been accustomed, vvhon ho wan heini? escorted into the hall about seventy-five or eighty-five men rose to their feet and cheered and possibly fifty black, broad-brimed hats were waved over the heads of their owners. The remainder of the body kept their seats and took no part in the demonstration. The cheering did not last over forty seconds. Those who have attended recent conventions can realize the difference. Evan's Resolutions ? A Very Platform. News and Courier. Mr. John Gary Evans, as the exponent ol the morning's cacuss, introduced this set of resolutions: We, the representatives of the Democratic party of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, do reaffirm our allegiance to the principles of the party as formulated by Jefferson and exemplified and illustrated by his successors in teauersnip unu uuum-ncu ?j ./u. people in tbe recent primary election, and we pledge our loyal support to the nominees oi the National Democracy, Cleveland and Stevenson. We denounce as unpatriotic and Infamous the attempts which have been made to Injure the credit and honor of the Slate, botn at home and abroad. The people of South Carolina, conscious of their ability and integrity, are determined that everv Just obligation 01 the State shall be honorably and promptly discharged. W'e hereby proclaim that upon this one subject there is no difference or division of sentiment among the sons of the Slate. The bonded debt of the Stale Is small; her resources are large aad ample. In her phosphate deposits alone the ?iaits is ricn, uuu since litigation in regard thereto has been adjusted the raoa th's eeeipis for puospliate royalty for the pant two months Ik nearly sufficient to meet the lntere-t on the debt and eventually to pay the debt Itself. We earnestly recommend to the Legislature to set apart by law any excess of phosphate royalty, alier paying the annual interest on the State debt, as a sinking fund to be placed at interest and sacredly kept and used lor the purpose of paying the principal ot the Stale debt.

The Convention had a clear deck and spent thB balance oi llie evening iuhiiiiik ii.-> nomination". which had long since beeu decidt <1 upon. Evaos started the ball rolling by moving that the nomination for State officers be entered upon without argument, and like a flash this met with as much favor as the happy sngtrestlon that no speeches be made In making nominations. John Gary Evans, the champion of Benjamin Ryan Tillman, placed his name belore the Convention. Charles A. Douglass nominated Johu C. Sheppurd. There was some delay about how the vote should be counted, and It wan finally decided to call the counties and the chairman of each be called upon for the vole of the county. Just aR if it made any difference. The secretaries labored bard and all to announce the result of 204 votes lor B. It. Tillman and &o lor John C. Sheppard. Of course It will he appreciated that the six votes or Georgetown were not cast, there being no delegation present. ?r>mo one anxious for supper made a vain effort to get an hour's reeess, and lie was both lunched at and voted down. Nominee for the Senate Mayfleld, of Jiarnweel renominated Lieutenant Governor E. 15. <?ary, seconded by Hill, of Abbeville. Col James L. <)rr was plaeed in nomination. Mr. Altamont Moses suggested that it wonld be advisable to nominate both ticket* at once and save time. The advice was heeded after Oary's nomination had been delared by a vote of li&l to 50, which was continued on very nearly all questions. 8. A. Nettles, of J'rohl bltion fame, nominated the remainder of the "Keform" ticket in omnibus style. Tillman Watson, placed Conservative nominees to the front.

Speaker'* l?esk ? Ho Jlnkcn a (ioort Speech. Governor Tillman looked rather'exclted and (lushed with victory. He was escorted by John Gary Evaus ; Altamont Moses followed with Lieutenant Governor Gary. Neal did the honors with Secretary Tlndal; Lee oi ->umter. came in with Treasurer Males; Leech and the Adjutautand Inspector General made a pair, and Attorney General Town send with ?Sunerintendeni Maj Held brought. up tlie re;tr. . Governor Tillman ascended the Speaker's stand amdlst the rapturous applause of those who for months have worked patiently for him and his canse. Chairman I'ope grew somewhat eloquent himself when he Introduced "Benjamin Ryan Tillman, the Iielorm Governor of South Carolina." Governor Tillman's speech was an utter surprise to almost everyone In the hall, so devoid was It of his usual sarcasm. The Governor spoke well, and moreover had the undivided attention of Ills auditors, who were in the humor to relieve themselves of a long pent-up-enthusiasm. Governor Tillman said: Gentleman of the Convention: The Gooil Hook says that there Isa time for all things. South Carolina during the past summer must have been "a time" for speaking, and I ililnk I have done my share ol'it. [daughter and applause.] I shall therefore not nesspass on your patience but lor a few moment* tonight. We have passed through a very bitter, exciting aid, I must say, malignant campaltrn of white men against white men, of Democrats against Democrats: You have met here as the representatives ot a majority of the Democratic people of .South Carolina. This Copveullon is illfl'erent irom any other heretofore held in South Caiolina, inasmuch as you have come direct from yourinMSters?the people. You have not been con stituted by any ihimbl-rig^ing county convention process or "club" business, delegating Its powers to send you here, but you have come right straight Iroin ttie around. The issues of the cumpaigii through which we have Juki passed are well uuderstood, and it Is quite unnecessary for me to rehearse them now. One of these Issues, and peihaps the one that was fought with the most bitterness and excited the most enthusiasm, was whether I should be returned to my home in Edgefield with the stigma of the disgrace upon me that I was an unworthy and unfit public servant, or whether I should receive the plaudits of this peop:e as having tried to do my duty. Tneeltbrts p-U forth by those who believed that I was untlt to govern this State were perhaps worthy of more success, because they certainly fought me with all the ardor, enthusiasm and vigor of men engaged in a patriotic undertaking. Hut I am not here tost igmatlze their motives. I am here ready to acknowledge that there are good men on both sides, natriots on both sides, and that those who fouulit the Farmers' Movement mid reforms In stHte iillalrs made their ti^ht on what they believed to be their duty. All I now ask tliem Is that they shall believe and admit that we were actuated by a sense of duly. 1 stand here, gentleman, to thank the people of.South Carolina, who have sent you here that they have not sent me home In disgrace, but have again placed In my hand the banner wblch they gave me two years a?o, that banner of unstained Democracy under which we shall again move forward, workinc with common will, common Zealand common energy for the welfare of South < 'arollna. Let me ask you, geulleman. when you bo back home to return my thanks to the people again. Individually I thank yon becauseyou have been in the rank with the masses, and to those who have fouuht us I would say, we extend you the rluht hand o( fellowship, friendly and oroihtriy love of Carolinian to Carolinian, with the hope that we shah move lAsu-or/l iAt?olhor jinrt hriHcp Ihrt r*hnfsm if it may be done. Uriel' >'o(CM ot What tlie (Mher XomlNllill. E. I?. Gary, nominee for Lieutenant Governor, Haiti that, the issues had been settled and that they were ready to bridge the chasm and ready to vote for Cleveland and Stevenson. "I accept," said he, "aealn the banner entrusted to me and will bear it to your satisfaction." J K. Tindal. nominee for Secretary of State, said that his llrst duty was to express his hlyh appreciation 01 me nomination, anu more especially for the manner in which the campaign had been passed through. The greatness of a State cannot be based on dollarsnnd cents. The real strength and greatness and glory of a Slate lies In the moral tone and public spirit of her citizens. We should study moderation. Our minority must learn that this movement cannot, ko backward?. We must guard against selfish interests. It Isour duty to work hard for our cause. Dr. W.T. C. Bates, the nominee for State Treasurer, said that he simply wished to thank his friends lor the nomination conferred upon him. He appreciated it all the more because the place was given him a second time, which on the first, occasion was unsolicited. Haid he: "I knew that the position would not be a bed of roses. I knew that Ii would have u difficult time. I can't fee how any man could seek such an ofljee, .,nd J promise you the best frervice of which I am competent." L>. A. Townsend, the newly chosen candidate for Attorney General, resrretted that lip was suffering from a severe soreness of the throat and was unable to speak, but s:ild: ,-I appreciate the high honor which comes to me without any bargain or suspicion of trade. Vou shall never regret tlie honor you have conferred on m$." W.I). Mayfield, nominee for Nupeiintendent of Education, asked to return thanks to I lie people of the State. ' I can," he said "only thank you lor the honor." II. L. Farley, nominee lor Adjutant Uenerai was received with great favor. He thanked the Convention for the honor. The Ileform Itiavi'inoiil lnw liivfui' mill llu ttrl.w.l were to he carried out. There ate on theothcr side afi good Democrats and patriots, and we must conciliate. It Is our duly, and we must make our adminlstratian Tor the whole people of the state. (ten. Kllerbe wan not present. Tillman having been renominated, electors selected and a plat/orin adopteil there re. tnalned nothing more for the Convention to do. and il adjourned sine die. A. K. The OaI Crop. Now is the time to sow oats, while the ground is in good condition. We presume that every larm r in Abbeville county who make the least effort to do business on a solvent basis will sow liberally ot oats. Kali sown oats are more sure ot good results than the sprint: sown oats. If the crop is frozen out occasionally by severe winters, it lsalso true that the sprint; outs often fail because of <Jry weather. No time should be lost in sowing oats on which to feed stock nest spring. - IK you have a eood hcer animal, that you UO I101 IIWU, nui it' 1 " 11 11(1 HM WI litl'|use.
